Overview: Pulse and Pulse-Based Ingredients

Section 1

1.  Pulses are legumes classified separately from oilseeds, such as peanuts and soybeans.

2.  There are 10 categories of pulses, as defined by the U.N. Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO). Of these, seven are of commercial importance as foods and only five are significant in international food trade. The remainder serve primarily as animal feeds.

3.  Because they return or “fix” nitrogen in the soil, pulses are highly sustainable and often used as rotational crops to restore the quality of farmland.

4.  Rich in protein, protein quality, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and low in oil content, pulses are gaining attention as nutritionally superior foods and food ingredients.

5.  Pulses are used in many different ways in foods today. 6.  Pulses are also free of gluten and other allergens that must be declared

in FDA allergen declaration labels.  

6

What are Pulses?

Pulses important to human food consumption: 1.  Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

2.  Dry beans (Phaseolus spp.)

3.  Lentils

4.  Dry peas (field peas)

5.  Broad (Fava) beans

6.  Pigeon peas

7.  Cowpeas      

7

What are Pulses?

Of  these  seven  categories,  only  the  first  five  are  important  to  interna6onal  trade.  Cowpeas  and  pigeon  peas  are  important  food  crops  primarily  in  Africa  and  Asia,  but  are  rarely  traded  across  na6onal  borders.  

We will focus upon three categories produced in the United States:

! Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

! Dry peas (field peas)

! Lentils

What about Protein and Fiber? 2012 Food & Health Survey Consumer Attitudes Toward Food Safety, Nutrition & Health Survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) The percentage of consumers surveyed that have considered whether or not a food contains the following nutrients when making purchase decisions about packed food and beverages is:

Protein and fiber are sought-after nutrients!

! Fiber 62%

! Protein 56%      

11

Where are Pulses Grown? The United States is one of the premier pulse-producing regions in the world.

Because of the U.S.’s highly developed quality grading, handling and production control systems, U.S. pulse producers receive top dollar for their pulses in world export markets.

The  United  States  also  provides…    !   A superior production, manufacturing

and distribution infrastructure.

!   Multiple university and technical centers to provide technical support and innovation.

Why Gluten-Free and Allergen-Averse Products?

14

1.  CELIAC DISEASE: The primary driver for gluten-free products is celiac disease, which is estimated to affect 0.8% to 1.2% of the U.S. population.

2.  GLUTEN SENSITIVITY: However, this category also addresses the needs of people with gluten sensitivity and wheat allergies. Medical and nutritional literature estimates for the incidence of gluten sensitivity range from 0.5% to 7.0% of the population.

3.  OTHER FOOD ALLERGIES: In addition, many other consumers are concerned about consuming gluten-containing products or other potential allergens for a variety of other health-related reasons.

4.  OTHER (athletes, etc.)

GLUTEN-­‐  and/or  ALLERGEN-­‐FREE  is  oHen  a  family  decision.  Households  with  members  that  suffer  from  celiac  disease  or  other  food  allergies  are  more  likely  to  remove  all  offending  foods  from  their  household.  

Why Gluten-Free and Allergen-Averse Products?

U.S. Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004

! FALCPA required all foods to clearly identity all ingredients that contained one or more of the identified allergens.

! Pulses can play important roles as ingredient alternatives for those food allergens highlighted in red.

•  Milk •  Eggs •  Fish •  Crustacean shellfish •  Tree nuts •  Peanuts •  Wheat •  Soybeans

FALCPA passage was based on estimates that eight major food allergens account for 90% of all food allergies:

Not later than 4 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue a final rule to define, and permit use of, the term “gluten-free'' on the labeling of foods

Why Gluten-Free and Allergen-Averse Products?

16

U.S. Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 The U.S. Food & Drug Administration is behind schedule in formulating final rules to govern “gluten-free” claims on foods.

SEC. 206. GLUTEN LABELING. Deadlines. Regulations. 21 USC 343 Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with appropriate experts and stakeholders, shall issue a proposed rule to define, and permit use of, the term ”gluten-free'' on the labeling of foods.

+ 130 %

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has variously indicated that… …“millions of Americans” suffer food allergy reactions every year, …leading to 30,000 hospitalizations …and 150 deaths per year.

Packaged Facts Report (October 2012) “The market for gluten-free foods and beverages has continued to grow even faster than anticipated, reaching $4.2 billion in 2012, for a compound annual growth rate of 28% over the 2008-2012 period.” “18% of adults are buying or consuming foods products tagged as gluten-free” “Packaged Facts projects that U.S. sales of gluten-free foods and beverages will exceed $6.6 billion by 2017.”

Packaged Facts Report projections are based on Food, Drug and Mass Merchandise (FDMx) product scan data.

How Big is the Gluten-Free Market Opportunity?

SPINS /Mintel Gluten-Free Report (Sept, 2011) The “best case” projection was $10 billion in sales by 2013. August, 2012 update - $12.4 billion, "including Walmart”)

SPINS / Mintel gluten-free market projections are based on Food, Drug and Mass Merchandise (FDMx) product scan data PLUS natural food and specialty retailers.

How Big is the Gluten-Free Market Opportunity?

However, the following categories were not included in either the Packaged Facts or SPINS /Mintel gluten-free market surveys:

BEST VANTAGE Inc. estimates the current gluten- and allergen-free market size at $10 - 15 billion with a potential to reach $70 billion by 2020.

! Whole Foods (about 15% of all retail food and foodservice sales)

! Trade Joe’s ! Restaurant /food service ! Store brands ! PLU (coded-entry sales) ! Multilevel marketers ! Internet Sales.

21

How Big is the Gluten-Free Market Opportunity?

For  comparison,  total  es6mated  2012  wholesale  food  retail  and  foodservice  sales  in  the  U.S.  were  about  $1.3  trillion  in  2012.  

The Importance of Nutritional Parity

1.  Wheat flour is one of the most important venues of nutritional enrichment in the U.S. diet.

2.  By substituting for wheat flour, gluten-free /allergen-averse products risk making themselves vulnerable to claims of being nutritionally inferior to wheat flour-containing products.

3.  Pulses add important nutritional value to gluten-free/allergen-averse

products.

4.  We also recommend additional fortification and enrichment, as needed.

•  Proteins •  Starches •  Shortenings •  Leavening agents •  Emulsifiers •  Water •  Flavoring •  Salt

Pulse flours and other gluten-free flours offer a range of functional protein combinations.

Protein functionality can be enhanced using pulse flour fractions (e.g., pea protein concentrates and isolates) and/or film-forming hydrocolloids, such as xanthan gum.

1.  Wheat flour is an important dietary source of micronutrient enrichment.

2.  In the interest of nutritional parity, we submit that it is important to equal or exceed the micronutrient content contributed by enriched wheat flour.

3.  We recommend adding a vitamin-mineral premix to achieve or exceed nutritional parity.

•  Optimize your vitamin-mineral blend dilution

to a practical working level using carriers.

•  Confirm that your vitamin-mineral carrier is gluten-free.

Gluten-Free Pasta

•  Pasta is one of the easiest products to render gluten-free.

•  The challenge is to obtain a consistent and appealing al dente texture that is robust to variations in cooking and preparation conditions.

•  Pulses can comprise from 0% to 100%

of a gluten-free pasta formula.

36

Gluten-Free Pasta

Examples of gluten-free pasta ingredient statements:

[INGREDIENTS: Corn Flour; Rice Flour, Mono & Diglycerides]

[INGREDIENTS: Organic Rice Flour; Organic Rice Starch; Organic Potato Starch; Organic Soy Flour]

[INGREDIENTS: Rice Flour; Rice Bran Extract]

[INGREDIENTS: Lentils; Water]

Pasta textures can be further enhanced by using purified pulse starches and proteins, as well as hydrocolloids, such as xanthan or guar.
